first child, but it was not published until this illustrated edition by Rotraut Susanne Berner in 1996. The story features a seven year-old Max Nix who lives in a village called Winkelburg who “more than anything else in the world...wanted a suit of his own.” (p6) This book borders on a chapter book, though it is one continuous story told with vibrant line-drawn illustrations on each page. The ensuing pages depict city and family town in a fictionalized European-style country setting and emphasize the idea of individualism and having a thing of one’s own. Deeply embedded in the story is the moral that one should not be afraid to be their own person, and the story is complex enough to be read and discussed afterwards. The book is enjoyable for both parents and children as parents get to see a more light-hearted side of Sylvia Plath as an author, while children benefit from a clear storyline with a straightforward theme at the end.
